From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

TDE. Solid, familiar, stays out of my way.
Plasma, with the taskbar on the side, and 15 virtual desktops.
i am using KWM with river. I really like KWM, but I am tired with how rapidly the config is changing and needs to be updated to compile KWM updates. I'm thinking of switching to ZRWM since using CLI commands to config seem more stable than writing source code that needs to compile. The only thing I'm not sure about with ZRWM is I use monocle and deck layouts the most with KWM--and I'm not sure if ZRWM supports monocle.
If I don't get to a comfy place where my WM just exists and doesn't need to be updated, I may move to DWL.
I've used sway, hyprland, dwm, niri, mangowc, river-classic and now river with KWM. I'd say dwm and KWM are my favorite, but river-classic was up there (I just didn't have enough layouts set up).
I'm running a headless server with no WM or DE. It's all CLI just like boomers did it with multics and unix. No pretty pictures, no wasted cycles on rendering nonsense. Just pure, unadulterated computation.
DE: none
WM: Sway on my orange pi 5 max and hyprland on my x86_64 PC.
running plain gnome on my main machine and xfce on my older one, but might try singularity or cosmic when I get some time

Super minimal, and gets out of my way. I've been using it for over a decade
Cosmic on PC.
KDE Plasma on laptop.
I really want to like Cosmic but there are too many usability papercuts for me at the moment, so Gnome it is.
Dank Linux w niri over cachyos gnome.
Cosmic. It's pretty good now but sometimes it feels a little slow.
I am currently using two on two different distros on two different computers. Cinnamon and KDE Plasma.
MangoWM (MangoWC formerly) ... started using it when Hyprland didn't have side scrolling like Niri, and Niri only as a scrolling manager and couldn't do the master stack. Mango being the best of both worlds, I riced it really well and stuck with it.
I'm running Niri on Debian.
Plasma 6.8 dev
fvwm3 on most systems, wmaker on a few, recently trying out kde for potential wayland migration
NsCDE on several OSes.
This one is new to me.
Xfce + labwc is best combo for now
I've been using i3 for about a decade now. Wmfs for about 5 years before that.
PS. Don't use racist lingo please.
Where is racist lingo? Note that the definition of offense changes with different countries. I might have never heard about what you're referring to.
